Swings and roundabouts. I prefer to have my destiny in my own hands and if I have a solution I like, I would prefer to use it as the opening gambit rather than have the agent offer something I like less - especially if I am looking at doing something a little bit creative. Other seem to report that once an agent has found a viable alternative they are less willing to listen to alternatives.
There is a bassinet seat in R2 and R10 and only one in each.
You have to wonder how long this is going to last. Of course, like everyone else I hope Russia does back down. But assuming Russia is not going to withdraw from the Ukraine any time soon, will it be sustainable for Japan and much of south east Asia to be cut off from Europe indefinitely? And if not, how does the climb-down happen?
Sorry to be a pain, but it's just "Ukraine", not "The Ukraine"
Well I hope not, why can't they just fly around it?
Interesting to see if this happens, they updated the relevant page just today and didn’t cancel the Europe flights when they did. https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/info/2022/inter/220301/
Finnair has cancelled all flights to China, Japan and Korea until the 6th March and will re-assess further action then.
I guess I am still hoping they will reopen soon.
The Great Circle route ex Tokyo goes over eastern Siberia then down into Europe. Going south and skirting a route akin to TG or SQ wouldn’t be practical?
Not sure, it worked for me on JAL's site.Yeah i had a flight change and actually received an updated eticket too
I have been able to select seats of all of my legs except those operated by AA (JFK-ORD and ORD-DFW). Seems the QF booking reference doesnt work on AA site like it does with BA - is there a trick to selecting AA seats or will i have to play seat roulette at the airport?
From memory (which admittedly may be completely wrong), for both AA & IB you can ring QF and ask them for the AA or IB booking reference for your itinerary (they don't the use Amadeus system that QF does) and then use that to select seats at MMB on their respective websites.Yeah i had a flight change and actually received an updated eticket too

Try rj.com, has worked for me for all OW airlines on my OWA (although QR and JL lock down some seats - if it says restricted don't try to select that one).
Put your QF PNR into checkymytrip app and should then get the AA ref, and select seats on AA with thatYeah i had a flight change and actually received an updated eticket too
